Do Jeff's words ring familiar to you or a man you know?  Lumina offers hope and healing for post abortive men with both day and weekend retreats.  Please visit the Men's Page on the Lumina website for retreat information, stories of healing from other postabortive men, and other resources.

The next postabortive men's retreat is scheduled for April 2014.  Please call Lumina at 1-877-586-4621 for more information or email lumina@postabortionhelp.org.
